I’ve been busy launching new things in my shop and recovering from my business trip teaching. But my heart is so full. I just launched my first two custom milled and designed by me combed top blends!

I’m feeling real bitchy and persnickety today and regretting my decisions years ago to never reply to people’s very wrong posts or threads while I am feeling this way. 😭 to be young and recklessly commenting again

Got off my anxious doom scrolling butt and did one thing to ensure my family’s future today. It’s small but I’m trying to just do little steps because the big stuff is so overwhelming and paralyzing.

I keep having thoughts like “should I put my husband on my work bank account in case women can’t own accounts anymore?” I hate it here. I just wanna play with fiber. But instead I’m making plans like that.

I’m pretty annoyed we had to buy a new water heater when ours died last year but it’s hard to complain when I’m scouring wool and the tap is like this.

Another day another late night doom scrolling and doom posting yarn I made. I only own 3 support spindles I’m comfy with so I plied to free them. Corriedale yearling with sari by @noreasteryarns.bsky.social . I’m not as consistent as I’d like on support yet but I’m aiming for sport.

On Tuesday, a new pattern is entering the Coloring Book family, but first, let's take a look at a very old one. 3 years down the line, and my customers are STILL loving the original Coloring Book Raglan. 1/

If you’re not a dancer you’ll never know the adrenaline rush that comes when your teacher says “YES Aimee double on the left” when you do a pirouette. I will live on this for days.

Absolutely in love with this raglan in the Weekday Pullover by @aimeeshermakes.bsky.social Could not be happier with how it is turning out. Knit in nutiden, colorway Pling Pling.

This week’s support spindle spinning progress. I only have these three so I had to clear it to keep spinning but it was satisfying to have them full. #handspinning #supportspindle #yarn

Our very own @s.hchau decided that she was going to knit up a little size 6 Coloring Book Tee Mini for my kiddo C! ⁠ ⁠ We used @coasttocoastyarnco Natural Sock for a beautiful, sturdy non-superwash option to keep the core warm. These are the colorways Potato & Velvet Foot.

Guess what! For those who have been Turkish spindle curious.. I've got your back. We now stock an affordable range of Snyder glider spindles in 3 sizes. We love the mini size for fast, sustained spinning for super fine spinning, while the medium is great for thicker singles like fingering to DK. 1/

I am absolutely not an expert but if you see a protest event or boycott that has no organizing body and no concrete list of demands behind it you should scroll right on. Many of these are scams intended to sow anarchy.
